Use the Mac mini as an extra CD/DVD drive

If you have a Mac mini, you should know that it's possible to start it up in Target Disk mode (hold T while powering it up), enabling it to be used as a movable FireWire drive.
The added bonus of doing this is that the mini's CD/DVD drive is also enabled on the host Mac, making it possible to use disks loaded into the mini's optical drive. I have never tested to see if this is the case on Apple's laptops as well, but I was surprised to see this feature.
